There's a downside to reading Discworld series by series instead of publication date. You go from reading a lot of Pratchett's later work, to some of his earliest ones. But I must admit, that I like Granny a lot and the wizards weren't so bad this time around. It's just... the puns are a lot more subtle. Pratchett isn't just as outspoken yet as in later works, even though he's making a VERY BIG POINT. This book could work well as a standalone, so if you like witches and magic and "why the hell should all wizards only be male" this might be the book for you!
